Program Description

Event Details

Grades 3-5

The library has partnered with the Livingston High School Fire Robotics Team to offer an exciting, interactive, 3 hour coding workshop! This hands-on program introduces children to the foundations of coding and robotics through the use of Spherobots, app-controlled spherical robots that make learning to code engaging, accessible, and fun.

During the workshop, children will:

  • Learn basic coding concepts using block-based programming that’s perfect for beginners
  • Experiment with problem-solving and logical thinking as they write code to control their Spherobot’s movements
  • Navigate a custom obstacle course, applying what they’ve learned to guide their robot through twists, turns, and challenges
  • Collaborate with Livingston High School Robotics mentors, gaining support and inspiration

This workshop encourages creativity, curiosity, and teamwork while helping young learners build confidence in their coding abilities. No matter the level of coding experience, participants will have a blast programming Spherobots and watching their code come to life!

Pizza will be served.
